West Kensington has a major advantage in its location. It’s on the western edge of Central London, connecting Kensington, Shepherd’s Bush, Fulham and Hammersmith. It is best known as home to the Olympia Exhibition Centre and the Queen's Club at Barons Court.

Local business consists of speciality shops, eateries and gastropubs, with the Olympia Exhibition Centre nearby. Indeed, it is the mix of local shops that give the area its character.
West Kensington is within easy reach of Earl's Court, and the Broadways of Fulham, Hammersmith and Notting Hill.

There are several pubs and hotels, including The Albion public house which is reputedly haunted. The Baron's Court Theatre is also located in basement of "The Curtains Up" bar and restaurant.
The Carnival Store is a famous fancy dress and costume shop located in the same premises on Hammersmith Road and family owned for the past 40 years.

West Kensington (District Line) and Kensington Olympia (Distrct Line and Overground) are both 5 min from the apartment. There are numerous night buses only a minute away. To give you an idea we are 20 mins to Bond Street, 15 mins to Westminster, 14 mins to Kew garden so this is a very convenient location with very good public transport links.

Olympia is an exhibition centre and conference centre in West Kensington. It opened in the 19th century and was originally known as the National Agricultural Hall. It now features three exhibition halls known as Olympia Grand, Olympia National, and Olympia Central. Alongside Earls Court, Olympia London has inspiring spaces that hosted many great exhibitions and events.
Earsby Street is well served by the local amenities of North End Road, while Kensington High Street is moments away providing a fantastic range of fashionable shops, bars and restaurants, as well as the popular Westfield shopping centre at Shepherd's Bush.

Wimbledon, Richmond, Wealthy suburbs
With both District Line and Piccadilly Line serving the area, the peaceful and iconic West London landscapes are within easy reach. Alternatively, you can take River Thames Cruise to spend a day in the west. Wimbledon, Richmond Park, Kew Garden, Hampton Court… the list goes on.

Reviews for this host's other properties

+ quiet area, the beds were good and the sheets and towels clean - and a fantastic Thai restaurant just up the road (3 min)
- the house is very run down, it was nicely decorated for the photos, but it really needs renovation. The toilet didn't always flush (the only one for 7 people! and with half a roll of toilet paper provided for 4 days, so make sure to bring your own...), the two remaining couches fall forward when trying to sit on them, no batteries in the clocks, lightbulbs missing, no kitchen towels. Dirty kitchen, with two empty containers of instant coffee (well, empty would have been fine actually, both of them had a bit of dried/sticking coffee on the bottom), and the whole house smells damp/old. The cleaning must be very rushed, only the main areas are cleaned. (toilet, sink itself ok, but don't look anywhere else in the bathroom, or in any corners, or at the window-seal, or at any carpet...)
A bit more care by the owner would certainly be necessary.

Analisa has sent us very clear instructions for our stay in her house. The email exchanges were also very helpful. The house is nice and located in a quiet area. Hammersmith station is quite near; central London can be reached very easily. It was a nice stay !

Ok apartment if you are only going to sleep there. Rather worn. Everything you need in the kitchen mostly. There was breakfast in the description, it was corn flakes and milk. Slow internet access. Short distance to tube and grocery store. Many breakfast offered in the "center" of where we lived. Interested cutting for boys / men!

House complies with pictures but shabby (stained carpet, chairs and shelves rickety, broken wardrobe, neglected garden ..) some minor repairs would be required. No dishwasher (damage).
It lacks a sofa in the living room (two instead of three as in the photos), after a good walk in the evening to relax all together, it would have been welcome. Few wifi speed. The bins are apparently collected once a week (that of the former tenant remained outside the house during our stay 4 days). Containers should be provided to prevent odors and papers flying. The breakfast is nothing but tea, some coffee and a cereal box. House for 7 people (one bathroom with a toilet).
Apart from its small things to improve, we had a great stay and we will return to this property.
Very well located in quiet residential area close to the subway and shopping. Would have a physical home by an official order to exchange (messages by email and phone calls).

The house is very nice, located in a very quiet area close to amenities. However, ay look closer many things were failing: missing light bulb in the living room, walk to the coffee table broken, broken chair, oven and microwave off a bathroom including the toilet (while m had been confirmed by email that there were 2 bathrooms complicated ... to 9 !!), 1L of milk for two breakfasts at 9 it is little, or no chocolate biscuit, light also stains sheets, dated carpet ..
Shame because the location and the owner is more than friendly!

We had a very nice stay in London and also in the house .... but the house is very shabby ... some things would have to be urgently repaired or renewed .... especially the bathroom .... and the cleanliness also left something to be desired ... why only 4 stars. However, communication was very good and friendly and after a phone call is also very fast missing things like coffee, cereal, kitchen towels, etc. were dropped off !! The garden, however, is difficult to see ..... totally wild .... the grill was looking after some under the heavily overgrown weeds to recognize!

The images fancier than the reality, a bit shabby, wobbly chairs, dishes again even rinsed, an opened bag of breakfast cereal something similar, a lot of rubbish outside the house, Analisa does not seem like a little suggested to be the owner, the manager or has rather for some time no longer been concerned about their own house. A new vacuum cleaner would do the floors probably good. To live in the house with 11 people, appears already adventurous. But ok for 6 persons 3 good, quiet bedrooms, fresh linen, large, abundant towels, lounge area.
Connection in many directions with super by bus and Tube.
Rating also therefore something critical because we have paid as much as 30 € per person and night, of whom 3 children ..
